This is part of a webinar series featuring presentations delivered at the Fall 2018 FRTR Meeting and related material. The meeting's objective was to identify and discuss the emerging science behind PFAS characterization and remedial technologies. This session will include the following topics:

• What are PFAS, and What are the Issues with Them?
• Treatment Technologies for PFAS Site Management

Presenters:

Linda Gaines, Ph.D., U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Gaines.linda@Epa.gov)
Linda Gaines is an environmental engineer and environmental health scientist. Previously, she worked as a consultant performing environmental site assessments and water and wastewater work. She then worked for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality writing Title IV and V air permits and later RCRA hazardous waste permits. After earning her Professional Engineer's license, she went back to school for her Ph.D. to focus on environmental health, and now works in the Superfund Science Policy Branch in the area of human health risk assessments. She maintains the Superfund Chemical Database Matrix (SCDM) and the Regional Screening Levels (RSLs). The majority of her time is spent as the Superfund subject matter expert for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Ramona Iery, Ph.D., Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (Ramona.iery@navy.mil)
Ramona Iery is a Physical Scientist in the Environmental Restoration Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC). She has more than 10 years' experience in the field of environmental remediation. Her areas of expertise include fate and transport, site characterization, long term monitoring and remediation of contaminants like chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons and emerging contaminants such as 1,4-dioxane and PFAS. She has been working with PFAS for the past five years in areas of site characterization, granular activated carbon treatment and regeneration and researching remedial technologies. Dr. Iery has published on PFAS treatment, taught workshops of PFAS, chaired PFAS sessions at conferences and served on the steering committee of the Emerging Contaminants Symposium. She is a member of the ITRC PFAS team.

Moderators:

Jean Balent, U.S. EPA Technology Innovation and Field Services Division (balent.jean@epa.gov or 202-566-0832)
Ms Balent is on the staff of the EPA's Technology Innovation and Field Services Division where she has worked to collect and disseminate hazardous waste remediation and characterization information since 2003. Ms Balent manages the Clean Up Information Network website and actively supports online communication and collaboration resources available to EPA. She formerly worked with the US Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Engineering Division in the Buffalo District. Ms Balent was also a member of the SUNY-Buffalo Groundwater Research Group where she constructed and tested large scale models of groundwater flow. Ms Balent has also conducted research relating to the Great Lakes, environmental remediation, and brownfields re-development. She holds a Bachelor's degree in environmental engineering from SUNY-Buffalo and a Master's degree in Information Technology from AIU.

Cindy Frickle, U.S. EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (frickle.cynthia@epa.gov or 202-566-0927)
Cindy Frickle is a physical scientist with EPA's Superfund program where she reviews and propagates technical information to site cleanup professionals through Clu-In, EPA forums, and interagency channels. Prior to joining EPA, she spent time characterizing contaminated sites, coring sediments, studying microbes, and teaching. She completed her Biogeology MS and Geology BS in the University of Minnesota's School of Earth Sciences.
